Test Procedure
VISUAL INSPECTION STAGE
1.
Physical checks
•
All screws for tightness (esp. bridge rectifier and transistor bolts), referring to the
torque setting of the manufacturing tools
•
Capacitors for polarity
•
Earth connection for good contact, using multimeter (XLR GND to AC earth)
•
Power transistors for shorts to heat sink using a multimeter
•
All wiring points for good contacts (soldering and crimping)
PRETESTING
PRE TESTING SETUP REQUIREMENT

2.
Set up amplifier for test :
2.1.
Fuse check
2 x AC fuses (2A), 20x5mm
1 x DC fuses (8A), 20x5mm
2.2.
Connections
Connect amplifier to:
Variac (0Vac)
